D.C. generators are installed near the load centres to reduce_____________?
Correct answer: B. line losses
- A. iron losses
- B. line losses
- C. sparking
- D. corona losses
Explanation
Locating generators near load centres shortens the transmission and distribution lines, thereby reducing I²R losses in the line conductors. Iron losses are mainly internal machine losses and are not reduced by generator location.
